About Me

Rather straightforward, but open to discuss all topics (the stranger, the better I'd say).

I love to discover new cultures, and it's people. Cities, out of the way villages and hiking trails are all on my to do list.

Always had an interest in history, mythology an theology being my favorite branches.
I'm also a sucker for animal facts, should you have some of those. Or any random facts really ... .

Lastly, a nice cold beer is an easy way to win me over. Always on the lookout for those local brews.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet up with other travellers and locals to exchange cultures, ideas, or brainstorm paradoxical questions.

I'm always interested to hear about the paths others have walked, or perhaps the struggles they have/had. An outsiders perspective can be quite valuable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a TEFL certificate so I can teach English, but it has been a few years. If you have an electrical problem, I might be able to help with that as well.
Or if you want to hear some interesting history facts or explore vage mythology storylines I'm your guy.

And if all else fails, we can just bash on EU countries or rant on internal politics. Both are a Belgian's favourite past time activity after all.

So stop lurking around my profile, and let's meetup already. Come on, off we go.
